Summary:
Kapurush: Amitabha Roy, a scriptwriter of commercial films, is driving in the country, scouting for locations. When his vehicle breaks down, he is taken in by a tea planter whose wife is Karuna, a woman whom he had formerly loved but whom he was unable or unwilling to take care of. In those days, he was a poor student, uncomfortable with his involvement with this woman from a well-off family; just as she had made up her mind to accept his situation and bravely confront her family's disapproval, he left her. Now that he has become successful on his own, Amitabha would love for Karuna to leave her husband and live with him. He arranges a rendezvous at the train station. Mahapurush: Birinchi Baba manages to pass himself off as a "sadhu" (sage, holy man) and takes advantage of the credulity of a father and his daughter Buchki. This does not suit her fianceĢ Satya, who fears that her religious conversion will pull her away from him. He will do anything to recover his beloved and confound the "sadhu."
